When driving around here it helps if people think the car is ancient - they are then more likely to cut it some slack - so anything that makes the car look older is helpful.
The pressed plates I have at the moment are the usual with 3.5" letters on a field 4.5" high, plus the border, whereas the spare-wheel cover number plate area is only 4" high, plus a raised border.
